"So....what exactly is a quirk?" asked Naota as he and Mina sat at a booth in the main area of the Infernal Tavern. The two were eating a meal. Mina glanced over at a table where a loud belch could be heard. The belch came from a beautiful young girl with blue hair and deep red eyes. At the same table sat a red-haired young teenager girl with an eyepatch over one of her eyes. The two girls were talking to LadyDevimon.
"In the dimension where I come from" said Mina, turning her attention back to Naota. "most people have a gift, a superpower you might say that we call quirks"
"And your quirk is that you can create acid from your skin?" asked Naota.
"Yeah" said Mina as she made a small glob of acid in her hand that was an off-white color. She threw the glob of acid to the wall where it proceeded to melt a good inch-deep hole into the wall. "not a very strong acid but it can melt away rope no problem"
"Sounds like quite the interesting world" said Naota. "sounds like it came straight from a comic book"
Mina nodded and said, "That's it exactly. Some quirks are perfect for hero work while others aren't too useful...and, of course, there are villains who use their quirks for evil purposes"
Naota and Mina were kind of stuck at the Infernal Tavern since the tavern tended to move from dimension to dimension at the whim of The Hellmasters. The method as to exactly how the tavern moved from dimension to dimension was unknown to Mina and Naota. During the time that Naota and Mina were at the tavern, the establishment had moved to five other dimensions. Currently the tavern was located in a demonic realm known as the Home For Infinite Losers. This information was written in a large electronic sign that hanged above the entrance to the Infernal Tavern.
At any given moment, a member of The Hellmasters would be mingling with the patrons. It seemed that The Hellmasters took shifts in watching over the patrons. This shift was apparently LadyDevimon's shift.
The Infernal Tavern consisted of more than just a tavern, much like the Dimensional Cafe. There was apparently a sizable casino on one of the upper floors as well as a small bathhouse.
Like the Dimensional Cafe, the tavern had both employees and servants. If you couldn't pay for your drink or meal, you became a slave to The Hellmasters for as long as The Hellmasters wanted. The only way to be freed as a slave was to fight another slave in front of the entire management.
The name of a slave would be taken away by The Hellmasters. The nameless slave was forced to obey any order given by any member of The Hellmasters. A slave was known only as a number until that slave was freed by Hild herself. Although The Hellmasters owned the tavern equally, it was Hild that had the final say on matters.
The tavern welcomed all patrons regardless of age. Even gods were welcomed at the Infernal Tavern. In fact, the tavern currently had one goddess as a patron; Lady Hephaetus, along with her mortal boyfriend Welf Crozzo.
Naota and Mina were guests of The Hellmasters and was thus exempt from paying.
"I prefer the cafe over this place" said Mina looking around at the tavern. Although it was called the Infernal Tavern, it was peaceful for the most part. Any fighting was ended rather quickly by The Hellmaster that was currently there.
"So do I" said Naota.
The air in the tavern smelt vaguely like brimstone likely due to all the demons there. Most of the patrons were demons at this time. The demons were humanoid for the most part but there was a few of them that was decidedly not. The demon that was sitting relatively close to Mina and Naota was ten feet tall and was wearing clothes somewhat akin to Santa Claus. That demon was sitting at a table that was scaled to someone of her size.
"Cafe?" asked the demon known as Krampus. "you mean the Dimensional Cafe? I was there last Christmas. They have good food"
"Yeah" said Naota, looking over at Krampus. "I know one of the gods who run the cafe"
"Indeed?" asked Krampus. "might I ask which god you know?"
"Haruko" said Naota. "she's one of the new gods. The goddess of rock and roll"
Krampus studied Naota for a moment and then laughed. "There's really a god of rock and roll?! Well....the world needed a new muse"
"Excuse me" said a voice. "what was that name again?"
The voice belonged to what looked like an ogre with red skin. The orge wore a big white shirt that had the words "HFIL" on it. Next to the red orge was a blue-skinned orge that was also wearing a shirt that had "HFIL" on it.
"Haruko" said Naota.
The two ogres exchanged glances.
"Why do you ask?" asked Naota.
The red ogre shook his head dismissively, and said "Oh, I thought I recognized that name"
"You idiot" said the blue ogre to the red ogre.
"You recognize that name?" asked Mina.
"No, no" said the red ogre. "it just that it really sounds similar to the name of an ancient demon. But it's clearly not the same name"
The two ogres walked off to find a free booth to sit at.
Naota and Mina looked at each other with eyebrows raised.
"I recall no demon called Haruko" said Krampus thoughtfully. The female demon sat there for a moment before lumbering out of her chair and walked to the booth that the two ogres were sitting at. The three exchanged a few words.
"What's that all about?" asked Mina.
"Not a clue" said Naota. "let's just finish our meals"
